Petition to Fnatic...

T RexHasTinyArms·Aug 15, 2015·3 votes·635 views

If you're up 2-0 tomorrow, please try to close out the 3-0 with the full Fnatic skin line up. It's an entirely viable line up, although maybe not the best, and probably super telegraphed after the first couple picks, so could be easily countered, but you have 2 more games to play with whatever you want if you absolutely need them.

Janna/Corki bot lane J4 top Gragas jungle Karthus mid

Although in solo que you could swap gragas/karthus/jarvan around in pretty much any order of lane/jungle match ups, so if the Fnatic players were more comfortable/preferred something else, then that would be better.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. 10/10 would be the best story of the season to have Fnatic go into the finals having gone 3-0 and capping the run with a win using all 5 of their skins. (Plus doing it in the semis neatly avoids the issue of not being sure if playing Fnatic skins against Peke and Soaz would be a compliment and acknowledge that they were part of the organization, or be insulting and just rub it in their face they were getting beat by their former teammate and organization.)

Karthus is now the 2-0 -> 3-0 midlaner for EU confirmed. But yeah, this would be a cool idea. Although it would be far funnier if UoL did it.

Only that Jarvan was Cyanide's champion, Gragas Shushei's, Karthus belonged to Peke, Corki to Yellowstar (and even then it should be Lamia's Ashe, since Yellowstar didn't win with Fnatic) and Janna was a pick for Mellisan. So how would that be the best story? These skins don't belong to current Fnatic.

Personally I think the legacy of the organization is as cool as the players. I realize esports is often about individual players rather than teams, but sports are often about teams. My parents both went to UT, I was raised in Austin, and my fiance and I met at graduate school at UT (she even went there for undergraduate too), so I am unsurprisingly a fan of UT football. There have been some amazing players there and yeah they may be are people you're a fan of in addition to the team, but first and foremost I think of it as being a fan of UT regardless of who the players are.

The skins are based on the organization. Yeah they're based on the players at the time, but they are the TEAM skins. The theme is based off team colors, team logos, etc. The reason it would be awesome is because it acknowledges the history of the organization and that this is one team among many that have been awesome. It gives a nod to the fact that Huni, Reignover, Rekkles, Febiven, and Yellowstar are awesome, but the team is built on infrastructure and legacy that was developed off names like Peke, Cyanide, Shushei, Lamia, Mellisan, and others who came later.

Edit: Although you do make a good case for the fact that a Peke pick of Karthus to use his old team's skin would be cool too.
